Whole-system duct and dryer vent check with before-and-after photos - you see exactly what came out of your vents
That "$99 whole-house special" is a bait ad - the real number appears once they are in your hallway, or the "clean" is a shop-vac at the register. We photograph the inside of your ducts before and after instead.

AfterFast, Reliable Air Duct Cleaning Across Cypress Lake
Air duct cleaning in Cypress Lake typically runs $350-$650 for a whole-home residential system, with most jobs completed in a single morning or afternoon. We’re Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning, and we’ve been working in Cypress Lake’s villa communities and ranch neighborhoods long enough to know what hides inside those original 1970s and 1980s attic runs. Our dispatch team coordinates scheduling from our Miami office, but the crews that arrive at your door are the same technicians who’ve spent years in Lee County’s older housing stock. They know the difference between a routine clean and a post-Hurricane Ian remediation job before they pull the first register. Call us at (323) 918-4345 for a free written estimate, or read on to see exactly what we find in Cypress Lake homes and what it costs to fix it right.
Why Morton’s Air Duct Cleaning Is Cypress Lake’s Preferred Air Duct Cleaning Company
We’ve been part of the Cedarwell family since 2005, and that longevity matters in a market where fly-by-night duct cleaners swing through after every storm season with rental vacuums and coupon books. Our Cypress Lake customers know our crews by the uniform, the shoe covers at the door, and the written price they hold in their hands before any equipment gets unloaded.
Paul Adeyemi leads our operations with a simple standard: every job gets the Cedarwell C.A.R.E. values, every time. That means drop cloths before tools, quieter equipment during nap hours, and pet-safe product choices where they’ll do the job. We don’t just clean around your life; we plan for it.
Our 365-Day Done Right Promise isn’t a verbal offer you have to remember to ask for. It’s stamped on every job sheet. If something isn’t right, we make it right. Full stop.
And when we leave, you get a photo of the clean-up. Visual proof your floors, furniture, and pet areas are exactly as we found them, or better. A live person answers our phone 24/7, not a chatbot, not a callback queue.
Ductwork Cleaning in Cypress Lake
Ductwork Cleaning in Cypress Lake means something different than it does in newer markets. The community’s 1970s-1980s single-story slab-on-grade ranches and villa-style retirement communities still run original fiberglass-lined or early flex ductwork through unconditioned attic spaces that hit 140°F for much of the year. That aging stock, now 40-plus years old, suffers liner deterioration, crushed sections from foot traffic during roof repairs, and joint failures that turn ducts into direct pathways for attic-temp air and accumulated organic debris. A typical whole-home Ductwork Cleaning in Cypress Lake runs $350-$550 for a standard ranch or villa, with larger systems or heavy contamination pushing toward $650. We use Rotobrush agitation tools and Nikro HEPA-filtered negative air machines to source-remove debris without the aggressive brushing that tears brittle fiberglass liners apart.
Post-Storm Remediation Cleans
Hurricane Ian’s wind-driven rain saturated attic ductwork across Lee County, and Cypress Lake took it hard. Many homeowners replaced drywall and flooring but never opened the flex runs above. We find mold-colonized insulation sealed inside, invisible from the register boot. Our remediation cleans run negative pressure with HEPA filtration, agitate with controlled-speed brushes, and document with before-and-after camera footage so you see what came out.
Sealing and Restoration After Cleaning
Cleaning brittle 40-year-old duct often exposes tears or disconnected joints that weren’t visible until the debris came out. We don’t leave you with a cleaner leak. Our crew seals accessible joints with mastic and metal-backed tape rated for attic temperatures, and we’ll quote replacement sections in writing if the damage is beyond repair. No surprises on the invoice.
Air Duct Inspection in Cypress Lake
Air Duct Inspection in Cypress Lake should be the first move for any homeowner who hasn’t looked inside their ducts since moving in, especially in the post-Ian villa communities off Cypress Lake Drive and surrounding streets. We push a high-resolution camera past the register boot and into the full run, documenting liner condition, moisture staining, joint integrity, and debris load. A typical camera inspection runs $150-$250 as a standalone service, or it’s included at no extra charge when bundled with a full cleaning. The inspection takes 45-90 minutes depending on system size, and you watch the feed in real time or receive the video file afterward.
What We Document for Insurance
Many Cypress Lake homeowners are still navigating claims and contractor follow-ups from Ian damage. Our inspection reports include timestamped video, still images of problem areas, and written findings on liner condition and moisture intrusion. Adjusters and remediation contractors have used our documentation to justify duct replacement when cleaning alone won’t solve the problem.
Pre-Purchase Inspections for Villa Buyers
Cypress Lake’s retirement villa market sees steady resale activity. Buyers inheriting 1970s-1980s ductwork deserve to know what’s overhead before they close. Our pre-purchase inspection identifies crushed runs, water-logged insulation pockets, and disconnected returns that a standard home inspector’s visual check won’t catch. The $150-$250 fee has saved buyers thousands in surprise replacement costs.
Trusted Brands We Service in Cypress Lake
Our crews arrive with professional-grade equipment, not rental-shop vacuums with a brush attachment. We run Rotobrush brush-and-vac systems for controlled agitation in delicate older ductwork, Nikro portable HEPA negative air machines for containment during mold remediation, and Abatement Technologies filtration for post-clean air scrubbing. For Cypress Lake homeowners dealing with persistent humidity issues after cleaning, we stock Honeywell and Aprilaire media filters and can recommend MERV ratings appropriate to our local conditions. Parts and filters are carried on the truck for most common systems, so we’re not ordering components and making you wait. The right tool for the job, and the right filter for this climate, available on the first visit.
Common Air Duct Cleaning Problems We See in Cypress Lake Homes
- Water-logged flex liner hidden behind intact outer jackets. A crew working a 1979 villa off Cypress Lake Drive pulled a supply register and found the flex duct looked fine from the outside, but our camera inspection showed the fiberglass liner had collapsed and trapped wet insulation against the inner core. We set up negative pressure with HEPA filtration, ran agitation tools through the run, and source-removed the degraded section before sealing the joint at the air handler.
- Brittle fiberglass liner tearing during aggressive cleaning. Original 40-plus-year-old fiberglass-lined duct in unconditioned attics falls apart under aggressive brushing because the liner is already heat-brittled. The clean makes the leak worse unless the run is sealed or replaced. Our Rotobrush systems run variable speed for exactly this reason.
- Return ducts pulling ground moisture from crawl spaces. Returns that draw from crawl spaces near the Cypress Lake marsh basin pull in ground-level moisture year-round, keeping the system wet and re-feeding mold growth within months of a clean. We identify these configurations during inspection and recommend sealing or rerouting.
- Crushed sections from post-storm roof traffic. Contractors walking attic joists after Ian for roof repairs stepped on flex duct runs, compressing them without tearing the outer jacket. The restriction reduces airflow and creates turbulence points where debris accumulates. Camera inspection finds them; controlled agitation and reshaping restores flow where possible.
Pricing for Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake, FL
Whole-home residential air duct cleaning in Cypress Lake typically ranges from $350 for a compact villa with straightforward access, to $550 for a larger ranch with standard contamination, to $650 for heavy post-storm remediation requiring HEPA containment and extended labor. Commercial systems in Cypress Lake’s small office and retail spaces start around $800 and scale with square footage and HVAC complexity. We do not quote per-vent pricing. One flat price per system, agreed in writing before work starts, every time. Factors that move the needle: system size, contamination level, accessibility of attic runs, whether camera inspection reveals damage requiring repair or replacement sections, and whether HEPA containment is needed for mold remediation. Dryer vent cleaning bundled with duct cleaning typically adds $120-$180. Every estimate is free, every price is written, and every invoice matches the written price. Call (323) 918-4345 to schedule yours.

FAQs About Air Duct Cleaning in Cypress Lake
Yes, and especially then. Drywall and flooring replacement doesn’t touch the attic flex duct runs that took wind-driven rain, and we’ve found mold-colonized insulation sealed inside ducts that looked intact from the register boot. Call (323) 918-4345 for a camera inspection and we’ll show you exactly what’s overhead.
We use variable-speed Rotobrush systems with soft-bristle configurations and controlled vacuum pressure, not aggressive rotary whips. If the liner is too brittle for any mechanical agitation, we’ll tell you in writing and quote replacement before proceeding. The inspection comes first, always.
Southwest Florida’s near-constant high humidity means HVAC systems run 10-11 months a year, creating continuous condensation on registers and interior duct surfaces. Cypress Lake’s proximity to the actual lake and the broader marsh drainage basin adds persistent ground-level moisture that infiltrates crawl spaces and returns even in dry season. The climate here feeds mold and dust-mite populations far faster than inland or northern Florida markets.
We typically recommend MERV 11-13 for Cypress Lake’s humidity and allergen load, balanced against your system’s blower capacity. Higher isn’t always better; a MERV 16 filter that chokes airflow in an older system can cause coil freezing and new moisture problems. We’ll check your air handler specs and recommend the right fit during the visit.
Ask for video. Our camera inspection documents the full run before and after cleaning, timestamped and available to you. If a cleaner won’t show you the inside of your ducts, they didn’t clean what you can’t see. We include this documentation on every Cypress Lake job.
